💩 I’ve learned that the realities of extraction & exploitation are hidden behind thick veils of greenwashing, smoke & mirrors, & mass distraction produced by the sustainability marketing machine. Most people give up with the depths you have to dig to see what's really happening.

These are not realisable through #marking.

7. Privacy reform should increase the ability for people to exercise their rights, including:
a) A right to #access and #explanation, 
b) A right to #object to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, 
c) A right to #erasure,

3. We must build an overarching ‘fair and reasonable’ threshold requirement for all forms of #collection, #use and #disclosure of personal information.

Feedback on #PrivacyAct Review Report

1. Privacy reform must prioritise #DataMinimisation

2. We need a robust, updated definition of ‘personal information’ that discourages #surveillance and challenges the business models of #DataExtraction and targeted advertising.

Health researchers, professionals, & policy makers need to do better

“An increasing number of conditions, including autism and ADHD, have been revealed to be based on disablist, racist and sexist stereotypes, leading to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis.”
